Myself and five others drove to the American Le Mans Series race at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah USA. Track is brand spanking new. So new in fact that our seats in the "grass" turned out to be in the dirt! This is the first major race here at the track and it was awesome! The track is something else and I see great things coming from it.

All these were shot by me with my crappy HP 5mp camera.

Whoa dude! Very nice pics, the shots of the Aston Martin engine are really neat, that's a ton of carbon fiber! 8)

The F40 in the parking lot is a pretty sweet spotting. 8) Thanks! :D

Must have been cool!

Just too bad they decide to display a Bug and a Murci like that, with the rope placed 5 cm away, making impossible to take a good pic.. silly :roll: if you want to put a rope at least put some space between it and the car :roll: idiots

As for the F40, I wouldn't mind the high-res ;)

No joke! It was very frustrating the way they did that. No one was watching the car at all. It was as though the rope was supposed to be some sort of impenetrable fortress. Still it was amazing.

As for the high-res, this may sound dumb but is there a program that can INCREASE the resolution of photos? I've see some pics that are just these massive resolutions and I can't imagine that's how they were taken.

^ Thanks for the pictures.

As far as increasing resolution? I do not think that is possible. Think about it, since each pixel in the picture has some sort of data to it, to increase the resolution, you'll have to know what to fill in those pixels with.

Well my D50 (6mp) takes pictures at 3000x2008 and Rebel XT 350D (8mp) takes it at 3456 x 2304.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Just making sure.

Great pictures. Too bad the US version of the F40 has those little bumper modification which quite frankly looks like shit. Awesome sighting though.

Love the Corvette and the Aston Martin racers, really look bad ass.

Good job with the pics ... the racetrack has a nice backdrop to it with mountains in the background.

Did you get the autographed posters during the official autograph session?

No. We didn't go to the autograph session. Did get a bunch of free posters and stuff though.

When we go back next year we'll go to the session for sure!

Awesome pics Id say because of many reasons

First of all its awesome to see F40 pics in excellent conditions, and alongside the testarossa with the new wheels which quite better, if it wasnt enough, the testarossa looks a bit strange but at the end of the day very great in blue

Of course its great news to hear and see the vette (IMO my favourite GT cars because of their huge and noisy aspirated engines

Naturally, its great also to see the rest of the GT cars beginning with the Aston Martin Vantage suited with the british green colour alongside the amount of neat carbon fiber pieces which impresses the whole car, and also impresses the F430 GT3 although I prefer how the 360 GT3 looks; and finally, whats my opinion about the 911? simply the boxers noise, the cars shape, the engine in the back and so on brings a lot of excitement

Thanks a million dude for the magnificient pics
